3 prediction markets price this story:

Above $4.3 trillion — the market puts it at 6%, closing 1 Apr 2027. The market resolves to Yes if France's nominal GDP exceeds $4.3 trillion in 2026. It resolves to No if that threshold is not met. Readers often mistake this for a measure of current economic performance rather than the specific forecast for 2026.
Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 13%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if France officially announces a snap election for its national legislature or head of government before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked story about energy prices for the relevant event, but only an official election announcement counts.
France — resolved “Yes” on 28 Sept 2026. France wins the UEFA Nations League match against Belgium within the standard 90 minutes of play, including stoppage time. The outcome depends solely on the score at the end of regular time, not on extra time or penalty shootouts.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
